You may have read sports books before, but you've never read one like this. You're the main character, a young Somali immigrant and a former refugee, and it's up to you to lead your team to victory! You love soccer and you're good at it. But you're goal-minded, so you have other dreams, like going to college and becoming a writer. For now, you're focused on winning the championship -- or you should be. There's also a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to attend a workshop with your favorite author. Should you play in the tournament or plan for your future? "Goal-Minded" isn't like other soccer books for kids. With an interactive format, your choices affect the story's outcome. Plus, it's a game within a game: collect points for your decisions in order to upgrade your character's soccer skills. So read the book, collect the points, and choose to win! --Publisher.
